10.º Trail Rota dos Espigueiros 2026

Trail Rota dos Espigueiros, a Portuguese trail-running race, is now in its 10th edition. This year, organizers are reflecting on past events and reintroducing the most engaging sections of the route. The course guides runners across natural terrain, featuring numerous water crossings, levadas, and off-road paths within the Serra do Caramulo. The 31 km route presents a greater challenge, ascending towards the highest points of the Serra do Caramulo, offering expansive views after a strenuous climb. The event emphasizes local tradition and a communal race-day atmosphere, appealing to trail runners seeking rugged terrain, water features, and a mountain ascent over a flat road race.
